EN 10205:2024/prA1
(Amendment)Cold reduced tinmill products - Blackplate
- Abstract
This document specifies requirements for blackplate product in the form of coils intended for direct use and mostly for the production of electrolytically zinc coated plate, or coils electrolytically coated with either tin (tinplate) or chromium/chromium oxide (ECCS or ECCS-RC).
Blackplate can be a single or double reduced product and is specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm from typical 0,10 mm up to 0,60 mm.
This document applies to coils in nominal minimum widths of 600 mm.
In addition to this document, the general technical delivery conditions of EN 10021 apply.
NOTE Standard width coils for specific uses, e.g. tab stock, can be slit into narrow strip for supply in coil form.

Overview
EN 10205:2024/prA1 is a draft amendment to the European Standard EN 10205 for cold reduced tinmill products - blackplate. Published by CEN, this document supports the standardization of blackplate used in packaging and related steel product applications.
Blackplate is supplied in coil form and is intended for direct use, as well as for further processing into products such as:
- Electrolytically zinc coated plate
- Tinplate
- Chromium or chromium oxide coated plate (ECCS or ECCS-RC)
The standard applies to coils with a nominal minimum width of 600 mm and covers nominal thicknesses in multiples of 0,005 mm within a typical range from 0,10 mm to 0,60 mm. It also notes that standard width coils for specific uses, such as tab stock, may be slit into narrow strip for supply in coil form.
Key Topics
This draft amendment is relevant for manufacturers, processors, and quality teams working with cold reduced tinmill products and flat steel products. It helps define the expectations for blackplate used in the packaging supply chain.
Key points include:
- Product form - coils intended for direct use or further coating
- Material type - single or double reduced blackplate
- Dimensional scope - thickness and width requirements
- Delivery conditions - reference to EN 10021 for general technical delivery conditions
- Testing reference - the amendment modifies wording related to the tensile test method in case of dispute
Because this is a draft amendment, it is distributed for review and comment and is not yet a final European Standard.
Applications
EN 10205:2024/prA1 supports industries that depend on reliable packaging steel and consistent coil specifications. Practical applications include:
- Food and general metal packaging production
- Preparation of tinplate and ECCS base material
- Manufacture of electrolytically zinc coated plate
- Supply chains requiring controlled coil widths and thicknesses
- Cold forming and downstream conversion processes
The document is especially important for organizations seeking consistency in blackplate quality, coil supply, and standardized delivery terms across European markets.
Related Standards
EN 10205:2024/prA1 should be read alongside other key standards in the steel and packaging materials sector, including:
- EN 10205:2024 - the base European Standard for blackplate
- EN 10021 - general technical delivery conditions for steel products
- EN ISO 6892-1:2019 - referenced in the amendment history for tensile testing
- Relevant standards for coated flat steel products and packaging materials
For companies involved in cold reduced steel products, tinmill products, and packaging steel standards, this amendment supports aligned technical interpretation and product conformity across the European standardization framework.
